Nene Sakurada, a spirited five-year-old in Futaba Kindergarten’s Sunflower Class, orchestrates "real omamagoto" games, casting herself as the mother and assigning roles like a beleaguered salaryman husband to classmates Masao Sato or Shinnosuke Nohara. Her domineering approach sparks comedic resistance as peers balk at her forceful direction. Combining self-proclaimed sweetness with a bossy streak inherited from her mother, Nene vents frustration by striking a stuffed bunny or channeling irritation toward Masao. She views Ai Suotome as a rival, reacting competitively when boys favor Ai. Her relationship with Shinnosuke balances scolding his antics with genuine concern, exemplified by distress over his potential move in one film. Though she teams with him to tease Masao, their antics remain playful rather than mean-spirited. At home, Nene’s mother’s erratic behavior prompts her to exclaim, "You’re not my usual mom!" She cares for several pet cats and adores the TV series *Magical Girl Moe-P*. As a Kasukabe Defense Organization member, she joins group adventures but prioritizes enforcing her imaginative scenarios. Film appearances explore subtle growth: a 2004 alternate reality storyline casts Nene and Masao as amnesiac spouses, echoing their dynamic, while another film reveals her vulnerability facing Shinnosuke’s possible departure. Her interactions with Kazama and Bo Suzuki vary—Kazama remains aloof toward her dramatics, whereas Bo provides steadier camaraderie. Rooted in Japanese convention (Sakurada Nene), her character retains core assertiveness and familial traits across international adaptations, including a British-accented dub preserving her essence.
